ST CHARLES (Illinois) - A WOMAN is accused of badgering her teenage daughter's ex-boyfriend with hundreds of e-mails and text messages and threatening to post nude images of him on the Internet unless he started seeing the girl again, a prosecutor said on Wednesday.
According to a Sleepy Hollow police officer's sworn affidavit, investigators began looking into the matter Aug 21 after the 13-year-old boy's parents reported that he had received hundreds of threatening e-mails and text messages from the woman, the Daily Herald of Arlington Heights reported.
The parents told police that the boy and his 13-year-old girlfriend had exchanged nude photos of themselves over their cell phones and that after the breakup, the girl's 42-year-old mother threatened to post the boy's pictures online unless he reunited with her daughter, the newspaper reported.
Police are pursuing counts of intimidation, harassment and child pornography possession in the case, according to the newspaper.
Investigators are analysing cell phones and computers seized from the girl's home and school.
Kane County State's Attorney John Barsanti said that no charges have been filed and that the case has been turned over to a unit of the state's attorney's office that handles Internet investigations.
